10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We stayed at this property for our annual girlfriend weekend away. We loved the house and garden the moment we arrived. It has a boho eclectic vibe and fit our needs perfectly. Also within walking distance to canal. Host was fantastic! We would definitely book again and recommend to others.

Ms. Zook was the consummate host. There was even breakfast waiting for us. The house was charming and eclectic, in addition to be very well-equipped. We would return.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This home is beyond amazing, as is the host, Laurie. This was our 6th stay, visiting our son at college. The house is warm and welcoming - we love listening to records (great collection!), playing board games and relaxing in the beautiful garden....and the book collection is out of this world. The walls and shelves are full of all kinds of mementoes, artwork and memorabilia - I always find something that makes me smile, giggle or reminisce! Laurie truly anticipates your every need, provides lots of small comforts - fantastic herbal teas and coffees (my daughter learned how to make an awesome French press!), teddy bears, lots of blankets, and everything you could possibly desire in the kitchen! My sons friends come for a lasagna dinner each time we've been there, and we actually fit 12 people comfortably inside! Laurie is always available and very communicative should you need anything. My family has made wonderful memories at the "Zook House"!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The location of property was excellent. Short Easy walk to all downtown points of interest.The photos of property were deceptive, so, I was disappointed in the property as it was not at all spacious.It was crowded with furnishings.There were ants on the kitchen counters, upstairs bathroom and kitchen and entry area. Otherwise, it was clean.The host was very responsive and generous with her home.
